ABSTRACT:
A segmented geometric structure that when rotated serves as a functional mood-setting device or simply as a static or rotatable object d'art. The structure is comprised of a plurality of spirally formed curvilinear segments that are joined at their respective top and bottom to form a single rigid structure. The structure may take the form of a spheroid, ellipsoid or any other three-dimensional geometric form amenable to a segmented construction. The structure is suspended by means of a suspension line that is attached to an elevated support or a shaft may be attached to either the top or bottom end of the structure. The other end of the shaft is attached to a reversible electrical motor that is housed within a mounting base. When the structure is rotated, either manually or by the motor, in a clockwise direction the segments appear to move spirally upwards conversely when rotated in a counter clockwise direction the segments appear to move spirally downward.
